Ontario's police watchdog has been called in to investigate what it describes as a "police-involved shooting" in downtown Toronto.
The Special Investigations Unit says investigators are in the Yonge and Dundas area to probe the incident that took place early Monday.
A Toronto police spokeswoman says officers were originally called around 5:35 a.m. on reports of a stabbing, but declined to comment further citing the SIU investigation.
SIU spokesman Jason Gennaro says investigators are looking into how the stabbing and the shooting are related.
Gennaro says police arrived around 6 a.m. and there was a confrontation in which "several" shots were fired, injuring a 39-year-old man.
He says the man is currently in non-life-threatening condition after undergoing surgery. A 66-year-old man has been released from hospital after being treated for a stab wound.
The SIU is an arms-length organization that investigates incidents involving police in which there have been deaths, injuries or allegations of sexual assault.
